Tc cllavhom 'it'.my concern: Be' it yknown that I, JULES LINDAUER, c'iti- 'zen ofFrance, residin' at 42y Rue du F au.

bourg du Temple, Pals, in theRepublic of- France, have invented new and useful Improvements 1n' Corsets, of which thev followin` is a specification.

lhisjii'ivention relates to improvements'l Many" ladies o f long corsets canbe prolonged much lower at the back and sides of thel corset than at the front ofthe samebecause a very .long

bn s`ki s uncomfortable for sitting. But if 'therigid part ini front does-not completely .cover the abdomen, the stomach is driven forwardbywt'he compression'A produced by the tightening .-of thelace and in' order to prevent this inconvenience, itis necessary thatbelow vthe husk an abdominal beltor'. other larrangement is 'provided which can conveniently sup ort the abdomen. lIt is.

easy toobtainthis result by extending the fabric of the' corset below` the busk while stopping the whale bonesl above this extens1on `an of buckles, hooks and eyes, buttons, straps etc., but by theemployment of s uch 'means' an excessive pressure is exerted onl the abdo-` eyes or hooks by the excessive-pressure that they produce when the woman is seated are .apt to. tear the fabric of-'thec'orset near where they are placed.

In my previous patent` No 873,443 dated December 1 0, 1907 I describe a' corset which 'is' lprovided with suspender carrying tabs A having free edges and arranged obliquely onthe stomach and attachable to the stockings, together with straight Suspenders (the oblique Suspenders and the straight suspendersl each carry the half of the clasp and `are attached together on the stocking).

This corset provides a perfect meansl for the closure of the'abdominal non r1g1d part ,of the corset, below the busk and forms an excellent. sustainer for the abdomen; this invention has given excellent'results.l However for thefixing of the suspender to the i stocking and for the adjustment of the sus- 4pender to the desired length, whether the adjustment is made (by shortening or by l .prefercor sets to be long at' the-lower part. The rigid whale bone \partf to fasten this extension'by means.

lengthening the suspender) bynieans of a pressure buckle or the like,-or in the absence of any buckle by shortening'or by-simply .lengthening the elastic fabric of the .suspender, there are certain diiiiculties inherent to the principle of Suspenders .with four which carriesthe clip which is iixed on the the stocking an 4excessive minute regulation of each branch to the desired length is vnecessary. Also 'even afterthis minute adjustment the fixation one on the other-with inl branches as in order that theoblique elastic branch which. carries.. the button and which .comes beneath the straight .elastic branch Y ,button over the. stocking cansimultaneously exercise an even traction on the corsetandon terposition of the stockings, of these two and the adjustment can only be exercised on a -very A.short length withoutthe four buckles at the front rubbing against one anone into another during walking.

t The present invention has for its object a new arrangement which permits to retain all the usefulgeffects of my former herein? before mentioned invention while suppressing the various inconveniences mentioned above.

In the annexed drawing there is shown' a form of construction of the vimproved corset.

Figure 1 showsthe corset before the attachment of the Suspenders onthe stocking.;

Fig. 2 shows the corset with the Suspenders attached. y

The corset has in front, below and a little in front of the busk two tabs with free or unattached edges a a arranged obliquely. On each of these tabs there is preferably attached by sewing and by preference at the extremity of each tab an elastic ribbon b or 7)' in which is inserted in a manner to be able to freely slide, the complete clasp c or 0 which grips thestocking. This elastic ribbon 'which is preferably woven so that the front and the back are alike, carries at its extremity a hook'l or d (or a clasp, button or a device 'of any kind) allowing to fixthis other, making a 'clicking noise and hookingl min device j:
